Use The Oppo Food Ball To Keep Your Dogs From Inhaling Their Food

December 23, 2014

Is your dog one of those pets that eat like they’re trying to “inhale” their food in the fastest way imaginable? While there’s nothing wrong with being a voracious eater, habitually consuming solid foods like its drinking water can lead to bloating, choking, and even digestive problems. The Oppo Food Ball can help prevent that situation.

A unique dog bowl, it’s designed to slow down your dog’s eating speed to a less frantic pace, minimizing their ability to quickly clean out the bowl by inhaling their food. That way, your pets are forced to take their time with the meal, scooping out a few morsels at a time, and encouraging them to chew everything properly.

The Oppo Food Ball is a ball-shaped dog bowl that makes it difficult to eat rapidly by constantly spinning in place while the dog digs in for a mouthful. Not only does it move, but it has notched sections along the inside of the bowl, so food is automatically sorted in portions, making it near-impossible to scoop out a giant mouthful of food in a single go. Since the food goes in the notched area on the round bowl, the chances of any food falling out is also minimal, allowing you to keep the floor much cleaner than with a regular feeding bowl.

Two sizes are available, small (4.3 x 4.3 x 3.3 inches) and large (6.9 x 6.9 x 5.7 inches), so both petite and beastly pets can partake in the bowl’s healthier eating benefits. It comes in three colors: cherry, orange, and blue.

I can see this being quite useful for many. My dogs scarf food down, and they don’t savor any of it. It’s about time a bull of sorts was invented to make it harder for dogs to eat all their food in one massive gulp. Awesome!

Puzzle bowls are awesome for dogs! It’s great for slowing them down, by making it harder to get to the food all at once like a vacuum. I don’t have much experience with the Oppo Food Ball in particular, but the puzzle bowl we have for our dog really works. I’d recommend puzzle bowls to anyone who has a dog that throws up from them eating to fast. If your dog is particularly smart, I’d recommend getting a few different puzzles though. We have a couple because our dog goes right back to inhaling his food when he’s got the puzzle down. You don’t have to keep buying new ones, just rotate them when you can. I think I’ll get the Oppo Food Ball for our dog to put into rotation.
